Poland looking to extend lead in Group G with win over Austria
2387
Poland host Austria in Matchday 6 of the UEFA EURO 2020 Qualifiers on Monday.
Poland are sitting comfortably at the top of Group G, while Austria are part of a chasing pack which also includes Israel, Slovenia and North Macedonia.
The hosts are certainly the in-form side heading into this match and did not concede a goal in their first four qualifying matches.
On the other hand, Austria conceded 6 goals in that time, and the team must tighten up at the back as they prepare to come up against one of the most lethal strike forces in European football.
In Robert Lewandowski and Krzysztof Piatek, Poland possess two of the most potent goal scorers in the continent and the dangerous duo will be eager play against a weak Austrian defense.
Derby County’s Krystian Bielik has been given his first call up to the senior Poland squad following his impressive recent form.
The 21-year-old, who can play in defense or as a midfielder, has represented his country from under-16 to under-21 level and has now been given his chance to prove himself on the biggest stage of all.
Austria’s dangermen include Bayern Munich’s David Alaba and the enigmatic forward Marko Arnautovic.
Austria manager Franco Foda will be looking to his big-name stars to try and chase down top of the table Poland.
Poland won the reverse fixture 1-0 in March thanks to a goal from Krzysztof Piatek, which gave his side an important away victory.
This win added to Poland’s superior head-to-head record between the two teams which has seen Poland beat Austria on 6 occasions.
Austria have beaten Poland 3 times, with the other meeting between the two sides ending as a draw.
Poland are unbeaten in their last 4 matches with Austria (W3, D1, L0) and you have to go all the way back to 1994 to find Austria’s last victory against Poland.
The hosts come into this match as favorites however it is likely to be a fairly close encounter.
Austria will be desperate to keep within touching distance of Poland and they cannot afford to drop many more points if they are to qualify for the tournament next summer.
Having said that, Poland should have too much firepower for Austria to deal with on Monday, and the home side is likely to come away with all 3 points.
